Listen: Ellis May – Old Love

A striking new talent emerges from Copenhagen today, as newcomer Ellis May unveils her incredible debut single 'Old Love'.

The latest striking talent to come out of Copenhagen is revealed today, as newcomer Ellis Mayunveils her debut single ‘Old Love’.

A vocalist, sound designer and producer hailing from Denmark’s capital, Sophia Maj – or Ellis May, reveals the rare and special gift of being able to fully immerse her listeners in a world of emotion. ‘Old Love’, although a debut effort, displays deep rooted wisdom and majestic musicality, as Ellis May’s voice hovers above the off-kilter melody, as rich as it is deep, and as delicate as a plume of smoke.

Toying with electronic elements throughout, the melody centres around a series of rhythmic loops, as Ellis May adopts a firm stance as to the protagonist of the track:

“To actualise the song’s authenticity I didn’t want to be a singer singing, I wanted to be a woman singing”.

Ellis May will perform for the very first time at SPOT Festival in Århus, Denmark in April – until then, discover ‘Old Love’ right here at Ja Ja Ja.
